Finance Operations Manager (f/m/d)

bunch is building the backbone of private markets. We are enabling next-gen fund operations with one integrated system that combines secure data infrastructure, AI-powered workflows and expert fund services. If you value ownership, growth through real responsibility, and working with a thoughtful, ambitious team, this role might be for you.

We are looking for a Finance Operations Manager to be the backbone of our day-to-day financial operations. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role sitting at the intersection of accounting, billing, and process improvement. In this role, you will be responsible for all key financial operations, including preparatory accounting ( vorbereitende Buchhaltung ), spend management and client invoicing, across all our bunch entities. In your role, you will have direct exposure to the full finance function of a fast-growing fintech. You will report directly to the Head of Finance and will have the opportunity to grow your role within the Finance Team over time. From day one, you will play a critical role in strengthening and optimising our financial operations as we grow and scale across markets.

Your Role

• Own our spend management processes, including weekly invoice review and approval, credit card and employee reimbursement management, and direct debit setup, and make sure we pay our bills on time. You'll supervise a working student on Moss and handle preparatory accounting (including cost centers and units) and exports to our external accountants.

• Run quarterly and annual invoicing across all products and jurisdictions and take the lead on reducing manual effort by working with our analytics and other teams to improve and automate our invoicing setup. You'll also track client payments and flag overdue accounts.

• Support our monthly close by coordinating with external accountants across all jurisdictions and entities, ensuring timely delivery of monthly and annual accounts and that our external partners always have what they need on time.

• Conduct monthly payroll reviews and serve as the internal point of contact for payroll-related questions — including social security, health insurance, pension contributions, and employee benefits — as well as financial employee policies such as expense reimbursement.

• Support equity financing rounds alongside Legal, Strategy, and FP&A — including due diligence and data room preparation. You'll also pick up one-off banking and insurance needs as they arise.

About you

• At least 2–4 years of experience in an in-house finance role, reputable consultancy, or completed training as a tax clerk ( Steuerfachangestellte/r ) or accountant ( Bilanzbuchhalter/in )

• Hands-on experience with accounting, billing, and spend management tools (e.g. DATEV, Stripe, Moss, Spendesk) or similar systems

• Highly organised and reliable, with a track record of owning recurring processes independently

• Genuine interest in process optimisation and automation — you notice inefficiencies and want to fix them

• Strong attention to detail and quality orientation

• A proactive, solution-oriented mindset and comfort handling new responsibilities

• High level of ownership, reliability, and flexibility

• SaaS and/or fund industry experience is a plus

• Fluency in German and English (C1+ level)

• Be excited about working in a fluid, innovative, fast-paced, and creative environment and about being a part of bunch's culture

• Diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged

Workplace & Benefits

• Competitive salary

• Customizable benefits package (wellbeing, sport, mobility, food, and more)

• 28 days of vacation, plus 2 company days and local public holidays

• Remote-flexible hybrid (3 days/week in office)

• Up to 4 remote calendar weeks a year

• A great tech and work setup

• Work with a diverse team of 120+ bunchies from 40+ countries, with leaders who are best-in-class in their domains
